Substance abuse

Sweetin is a recovering drug addict who began using methamphetamine after Full House wrapped, because she was "bored".[15] In 2009, Sweetin wrote a memoir called unSweetined, which chronicles her downward spiral of alcohol and drug abuse that began with the ending of Full House.[16] In one passage of the book, Sweetin discusses breaking into tears while addressing a crowd at Wisconsin's Marquette University while coming down from a two-day bender on methamphetamine, cocaine, and ecstasy. She spoke about growing up on television and about how much her life had improved since getting sober.[17]
